What is the model of the optic?

Just realized... 55mm is pretty large lol

maybe give this a look? Made of rubber so it can be a more general size...

I recently had flip up cover problems as well. I went through 2 butler creeks. One broke as I got it out of the package, the other broke after 5 shots on a 300 WM. Quality.

I decided to try some from Vortex Optics. Love their scopes, why not right? I called Vortex Optics directly and ordered them. Had them in 3 days. My scope has a 50mm objective lens, it took a #7. Should fit anything 50-61mm. I highly recommend them. 100 shots from the same 300 WM and they're good as new.

Butler Creek has models up to 65mm. Not my favorite but lots of folks like them.
